Pros

If you are into all that malarkey of young atmosphere, work hard play hard with coffee and ping pong table, then, those are your pros...for others who actually care about career, learning, reputation, mental health and a decent salary...keep moving to the next company.

Cons

Where to start... no company ethos, being treated like a child, management incredibly under qualified, arrogant, questionable jokes and questionable dismissing and hiring processes. Work ethic in general...to laugh out loud to say the least. Someone has said on here...inspired by ambition?!?! which one? the CEO's ambition to get rich at all cost? then, yeah, that is the inspiration. Morals and ethics towards customers and transport guys...awful. The company will collapse sooner rather than later as there's no direction, all about CEO's whim and constant change of goals, ridiculous salaries and unfair treatment of transport companies. Favouritism all the way once you're in, so don't raise your eyebrows if you come here and see that. If you're a brown nose, congrats this is your place to flourish.

Pros

Start up culture (sort of) Lots of autonomy (due to having no other choice but to do it yourself) Relaxed dress code (Although some managers seem to want this to change) No micro management

Cons

Poor recruitment/hr - No strategy at all with recruitment and just whoever they can get in and to stay longer than a week. No HR team People get sacked on the spot Some senior hires that were very questionable and have since been sacked/quit A lot of very young inexperienced people in quite senior roles Favouritism - Agreed with previous reviewer. Some staff get kept on/promoted when clearly not hitting target. Others get sacked for the same. Staff who are continually reported as disruptive or damaging to the company seem to be able to do anything and avoid punishment Perks are not what is advertised - Drinks fridge only when sales teams hit targets and often taken away for months Table tennis table only used for half hour on Friday Beer Friday, everyone still works until 6 and it's just a bottle of beer while you work It is not a laid back culture Management - No direction at all from the top. Company has grown too big for the management structure of 2 people. Pay - Very unwilling to pay bonuses and will find anyway out of doing so Pay rises are rare No reviews in place whatsoever Hours - No flexi time or working from home and also tighter time keeping enforced Calls - 90% of the roles require high volume of cold calling and most teams are monitored for call volume. You just about get time to use the loo. All roles are basically call centre roles and you won't do anything else other than call call call. You do not learn in these roles Training/career progression - Training is non existent apart from the odd bit of sales coaching which is very repetitive There is no direction at all and it's very much whatever the CEO decides is a good idea. The ops manager will always agree with this decision as very comfortable which then means nothing at all gets questioned. Shame as it's a good concept but very very badly managed.

Pros

Good work colleagues who help you through the day

Cons

Poor management at the top, everything seems to be done on a whim. A delivery company that doesn't own any vans or directly employ any drivers. They take people's money in the hope that a driver picks the work up as they are all self employed they will only take routes they want that suit them which is fair enough. Treat customers and drivers shockingly.
